4 title fights in next 3 months

[Deported]

There must be something going on behind the scenes. There are currently 12 different champions out there and only Olives, Rose and Texeria are booked between now and July.

Are fighters finally banding together and all holding out together for more pay?

 

[Megatronlee]

No. They wanna enjoy their summer

 

[svmr_db]

We don't even know what the July headliner will be yet, relax bro.

Oh, and there's two title fights on the June card. Shevchenko vs Santos is on the Teixeira / Prochazka card.

Everyone is probably trying to get on the fightweek card. That usually sells the best meaning the biggest PPV bonus for champions.

 

[Osiris3657]

Usman is more than likely defending against Leon this summer

Izzy likes staying active so I'd be surprised if he doesn't defend at some point during the summer...but he fought barely 2 months ago

Ngannou is hurt

Volk and Sterling just fought a couple weeks ago

Figgy/Moreno 4 probably happens this summer as well

Just relax TS, just because they haven't been announced yet doesn't mean they aren't happening

 

[Moro]

You know LHW is dead and full of washed up cans if old man Glover is the champ. Not even excited for that division anymore.

Didn’t notice that one, she’s bout the only wmma fight i look forward too.

 

[Russie]

The title fights are coming. We're just at the end of April. I expect there will news on July relatively soon. Of course end of summer and in the fall there should be some big title fights and title contender fights.

 

[jeff7b9]

I heard from a reliable source that UFC is dying bro.

Only 2 ppvs between now and July and they have 4 title fights between them. That’s pretty normal.

Then there will be 2 more ppvs in July with no headliners announced yet, one of which is the big fight week card. I’d expect likely 2-4 more title fights to happen there.

Nothing special is going on. With human beings it's hard to schedule things in a normal way for a long period of time. Especially in non team sports.

This is just a matter of timing. Some champions are injured, one is in a contract dispute, maybe some are getting married or mourning a loss or something. Calm the fuck down. The next PPV is awesome. Let's see what happens after that.

 

[JoeRowe]

Settle down Sally. There are 2 ppvs in July(2nd & 30th), plus an August 20th ppv.

They will be using Usman, Izzy, Pena/Nunes, & Figgy in July.

Conor or Volk can headline Aug 20.

Then Stipe/Jones in SEP.

1 title fight a month is the norm, and having a wmma title fight as a co-main is also very common

4 title fights in 3 months is exactly expected. I don’t know why you think this is unusual

 

[M.U.S.C.L.E.]

TS has never heard of NBA.
UFC can't compete with NBA.
NBA playoffs are on right now.
Hardly anyone watches UFC.
UFC barely earns enough to pay $12k for 1 fight.
NBA minimum salary is $1 million.
TS, wait for NBA Finals to end.

What a failure of a thread.

 

[Sickbro69420]

UFC is officially dead. Good thread.

I love the creative ways people make whining about fighter pay threads

We still need that whining about fighter pay subforum
